Starting a new thread as the older one is getting close to being full.

Weigh in tonight may bring my diamond award.

Groovee I’m so sorry that sounds exceptionally stressful

Thanks everyone. I'm slowly getting there. I've started looking at new avenues.

I tend to enjoy myself on holiday. Ok I can gain lots of weight but back home and food optimising again soon has it off. I know my last AI holiday it was my alcohol as I never drink at home. But my food was pretty on plan and as it's a lifestyle change I have made in the last 2 and a half years has really changed the way I look at my food.

Groovee - so sorry that has happened to you, that's an awful way to treat someone. Hope something good comes of it with a fresh start somewhere else.

Apparently we're not posting enough

If anyone has an opinion about getting rid of the SW section on MN and just having general weight loss threads, go and post!

thanks groovee, sorry to hear about your work problems. That doesn't sound right.

Have you tried appealing via your union or HR? How long were you there for?

I'm having a shitty work situation myself ((hugs))

3lbs off this week. That’s better.

Well done @Pinkarsedfly

@strangerthongs at the moment I think I need a complete break. The head is marking her territory imo and I was the first see ya one and one person in school has been moved completely from where they've been well known. I'd rather leave knowing I made a difference and that the staff will miss me.

I'm still on the supply list so can pick up work and have put the word out that I am available.

Well done @Pinkarsedfly, what would you say is your average Syn count last week? Anything off plan at all or did you follow to the letter?

Hi Yorkshire it really varied. PMS week so some days I got to 13.5, one day was 0, one day I didn’t count as I went out for the afternoon and was drinking alcohol-free beer which I couldn’t find a syn value for - I guesstimated at about 5 per bottle though.

Taster tonight. Have made 2 chubby cubs lentil Dahl.

I made samosas for taster today. Lost 1.5lb..no idea how I've had all sorts! Now in my grace week again!! I've got 2 days off plan this week for a 30th so least I can relax. Can't believe I'm almost 1st under my original target (changed my target again 2 weeks ago). Really struggling to maintain! Never thought I'd struggle with that!

@FiveNightsAtMummys it took me 6 months to work out how to maintain. Look at using savvy syns more. I found that worked.

Lost 1.5lbs. Won diamond target member of the year and am 1lb under target for my holiday. After my crap week it really cheered me up.

Taster was really good and well attended this week which was good.

Well done to all those at maintenance. Wonder will I ever get there .
I’m down 15lb now over 7 weeks . Really pleased to have stuck it out .
Feel so much better and I have noticed my daughter has started to take some interest quietly which I’m thrilled about . She is eating very healthy and is making porridge every morning. We have a huge late lunch early dinner combined now and then snack in evening. That tends to be my cheese allowance, ham , fruit , Muller light and my mini bar if I haven’t crumbled during the day for it .
I had fajitas for dinner yesterday and counted the wrap at 9.5 syns but it was so worth it . Packed it with speed and protein .

@Groovee
Diamond 💎. Well done 👍

I didn't make it to group this week, real life got in the way, we had taster week too, do they do it across the whole country at the same time or is it coincidence?

Anyway, according to the home scales I am 0.5lb down this week. I'm taking it slowly as I have in the past gone for quick losses and rebounded.

1.5 off at my last weigh in on wednesday, pleased as it was my TOTM and i ha fallen off the wagon a little the weekend before. Vowed to stay 100% on plan but this weekend AGAIN self sabotaged, it almost better for me to be out and about than in the house.

At least I went for a run. Going to try SP this week as its the run up to my birthday next weekend and also to try and make up for poor weekend choices.

Hi everyone, Hope you don’t mind me gate crashing.

I rejoined today, weighing in at the heaviest I have ever been. Gutted, embarrassed, ashamed.

Came home and finished my pot of greek style coconut yog from aldi, felt motivated and have done my food plan for the week!

Tea was two small jackets with left over SW chilli, and half a plate of salad. Low fat salad cream 😍

1lb off. I expected that as I fell off the wagon a bit on Friday.

Still, I got my 1/2 stone award! Slowly but surely, it’s coming off.

@pinkarsedfly hoping for the same result tomorrow - well done and wish me luck!

Good luck, Yorkshiregold!

Went out for friends birthday we had breakfast, lunch and cake away all off plan. The next day we had afternoon tea, lindt chocolates, cocktails and I had tea and snacks off plan. Thought I'd def get a gain or maintain at best (I needed to gain 1.5lb anyway to get back in target). Had 2 days before weigh in so thought I've massively gone over I'll log my calories, go back to normal sw plan and keep calories low (2 days at around 1100 ish) Ended up loosing 2lb! Got my 5st award but out of target again! Only just changed it 3 weeks ago but will need to put on 3.5lb to get to bottom end. Going away in just over a week so least I've plenty of room for a big gain. When I was losing it was so hard to loose (or it felt like it) it seems a bit of a joke how I'm eating more healthy extras and way more syns and loosing. Altho I don't have many carbs apart from a couple of heb choices.

@FiveNightsAtMummys I would look at adding more B choices, use nuts and dried fruit options.

Interestingly I lose when I have more off plan stuff. It's like it helps my weight loss 🤷🏻‍♀️

Thanks @Groove I've actually been having lots of prunes and dates trying to have at least 4 healthy extras a day

Are you having savvy syns too? Like oil/olives/avocado? I found hat helped stable my maintenance.
